Dear Stacy, I am so sorry to hear about Spanky! I consider myself so lucky that my two boys are doing exceptionally well; every time I hear of one of the FeLVs passing in this group, I am reminded of it and also know that one day, I, too, will have to face it. In the meantime, I have some very old cats that will probably not live for much longer. How sad that our animals live such a relatively short time, and especially those with such debilitating illnesses! Thank God for people like you who devote their lives to making theirs better! Natalie

We love them, care for them and in the end let them go. You did everything you could for Spanky. In the end you gave him the greatest gift possible - freedom from pain. You are in our thoughts and prayers Sharyl --- On Sun, 1/2/11, S Z <[email protected]> wrote: From: S Z <[email protected]> Subject: [Felvtalk] Spanky is an angel To: [email protected] Date: Sunday, January 2, 2011, 1:11 PM Hello everyone: We haven't posted much on this list for awhile since Spanky was diagnosed with cranial mediastinal lymphoma. It is with a broken heart that I am posting to say that Spanky lost his battle with FELV and lymphoma on New Year's eve day. He had a seizure earlier in the week after taking an appetite stimulant and things went downhill this past week and his phosphorous was so low the vet said they had never seen a cat with low phos like this, and he developed severe non-regenerative anemia. His type of lymphoma was fast growing and he wasn't able to have a chemo treatment for weeks either. Thank you so much to everyone on this list, your kitties, your angels for all the help and support and love you've shown to us. You were an absolutely wonderful support network. Without this group we wouldn't have tried the LCTI imulan, interferon or the many supplements we learned about like Transfer factor etc. I wish all of you the best in 2011 and beyond and will purray your furbabies stay as healthy as they possibly can. We send purrayers and healing thoughts to all of you. Thanks again Stacy and Angel Spanky _______________________________________________ Felvtalk mailing list [email protected] http://felineleukemia.org/mailman/listinfo/felvtalk_felineleukemia.org _______________________________________________ Felvtalk mailing list [email protected] http://felineleukemia.org/mailman/listinfo/felvtalk_felineleukemia.org _______________________________________________ Felvtalk mailing list [email protected] http://felineleukemia.org/mailman/listinfo/felvtalk_felineleukemia.org
